I hate it when I find some cool piece of software, but it runs only if you have an Nvidia GPU.
MeshRoom and pretty much any FOSS photogrammetry tool works only on Nvidia GPUs.
Blender's new Cycles-X branch also only works on Nvidia GPUs.
And the stable version works much better on Nvidia GPUs as well.
I wonder if this is AMD's fault, or some very clever way Nvidia monopolized the general-purpose computing on GPUs...
#Nvidia #AMD #CUDA #OpenCL
@unfa Man, I am feeling this. And it's frustrating, because I went with AMD for my System76 Thelio because I know AMD GPUs run MUCH better under Linux generally, but I am finding that not having a CUDA capable GPU puts me in a world of "COMPUTER SAYS NO" and that just stinks. I think the big problem is that asking developers to support two standards rather than one given the difficulty of building rich 3D apps is A LOT of extra work, and we're not made of time, you know?
